←Prev   Psalms 9 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


9:1  I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart, I will declare all your wonderful deeds.
9:2  I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High!
9:3  When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish before you.
9:4  For you have brought about justice for me and my cause; you sit on the throne judging righteously.
9:5  You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked, you wiped out their name forever and ever.
9:6  The enemy has perished, reduced to ruins forever. You uprooted their cities, the very memory of them vanished.
9:7  But the LORD sits on his throne forever; his throne is established for judgment.
9:8  He will judge the world righteously and make just decisions for the people.
9:9  The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress.
9:10  Those who know your name will trust you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, LORD.
9:11  Sing praises to the LORD who dwells in Zion; declare his mighty deeds among the peoples.
9:12  As an avenger of blood, he remembers them; he has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
9:13  Be gracious to me, LORD, take note of my affliction, because of those who hate me. You snatch me away from the gates of death,
9:14  so I may declare everything for which you should be praised in the gates of the daughter of Zion, so I will rejoice in your deliverance.
9:15  The nations have sunk down into the pit they made, their feet are ensnared in the trap they set.
9:16  The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude
9:17  The wicked will turn back to where the dead are — all the nations that have forgotten God.
9:18  For he will not always overlook the plight of the poor, nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
9:19  Rise up, LORD, do not let man prevail! The nations will be judged in your presence.
9:20  Make them afraid, LORD, Let the nations know that they are only human. Interlude
